I always like this race and this is a nice field, but I'm wondering why Soldat was not entered. Anyone know? I thought he was headed here after that nice win at GP... maybe we'll see him on the Derby undercard.

Get Stormy looks awfully lonely on the lead unless Pressday shows speed on the stretchout.Doesn't really look like a good betting race with Get Stormy or Turallure probably winning.I guess Big Blue Kitten or Data Link would be who I would try to get into the exacta .

5,6/4,7


No money if it comes 5/6 or 6/5 so pointless to do 5,6/4,5,6,7

Unfortunately, the race does come up chalk for me.
Get Stormy will control the pace, or be comfortably close to it.

Even if Turallure comes up a little short off the layoff, he should prove the main danger to Get Stormy. Problem for this one is the danger of slow fractions.
That won't help his cause any, but if he's close to his best, he'll be hard to beat.

Doubles Partner ran huge last out at GP, running a final quarter in 23 and 1/5.
He gets a tougher task here, but he's a threat to hit the board.

Pressday hasn't won in a year and a half, and Hollinger might need further than a mile. He did get within a half length of Get Stormy last out, but that was over 9 furlongs and the shorter trip doesn't look likely to help his chances.

For me the race comes 5-6-1
Try not to choke on the chalk dust........ ;)
